I’m already cheating
– not on copying the text, but on being too lazy to tag anybody else. After working
the weekend, I’m barely able to think straight. Here goes:-

my last student today, so I’m gonna take him home and save you the trip over
here.”

Her
pulse battered her throat and she had a hard time forcing out her next words.
“Uh…I…okay.”

“See
you soon then.”

thought he was smiling, but wouldn’t swear on it. Maybe her mind was playing
tricks on
her.
